Such deposits are strongly radioactive with both gamma-ray and neutron well logging. Their radlioactivity serves to distinguish them from claystone, sandstone, and polyhalite beds and from potash deposits containing carnallite, leonite, and kainite. These latter strata and deposits are radioactive with gamma-ray logging but yield no radiation with neutron logging. Porous beds, such as sandstone strata, and solution cavities, such as those commonly formed in potash deposits by rotary drilling of evaporites, are less resistive than other materials. Low resistivity provides a means for differentiating between potash deposits and polyhalite beds on electrical resistivity logs of holes drilled with fresh-water and salt-base muds.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/ofr6084","usgsCitation":"Jones, C., Bowles, C.G., and Bell, K.G., 1960, Experimental drill hole logging in potash deposits of the Carlsbad district, New Mexico: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 60-84, Report: 22 p.; 5 Plates: 39.51 x 47.99 inches or smaller, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr6084.","productDescription":"Report: 22 p.; 5 Plates: 39.51 x 47.99 inches or smaller","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":349618,"rank":3,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1960/0084/figure-1.pdf","text":"Figure 1","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":349619,"rank":4,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1960/0084/figure-2.pdf","text":"Figure 2","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":349620,"rank":5,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1960/0084/figure-3.pdf","text":"Figure 3","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":349621,"rank":6,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1960/0084/figure-4.pdf","text":"Figure 4","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":349622,"rank":7,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1960/0084/figure-5.pdf","text":"Figure 5","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":43047,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1960/0084/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":147591,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1960/0084/report-thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"New Mexico","otherGeospatial":"Carlsbad District","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -104.43878173828125,\n              32.31383067137085\n            ],\n            [\n              -103.75076293945312,\n              32.31383067137085\n            ],\n            [\n              -103.75076293945312,\n              32.76302656020649\n            ],\n            [\n              -104.43878173828125,\n              32.76302656020649\n            ],\n            [\n              -104.43878173828125,\n              32.31383067137085\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a07e4b07f02db5f9295","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Jones, C.L.","contributorId":60218,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jones","given":"C.L.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":169339,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Bowles, C.

The homologous straight-chain fatty alkanols are considered the best materials for retardants. \r\n\r\nSeveral methods of application of the alkanols to the reservoir surface were investigated. Although wick-type drippers for the application of liquids and cage rafts for the application of solids appear to be the most promising methods from an economic standpoint, both methods have serious disadvantages. Considerable study was given to reducing biochemical oxidation of the evaporation retardants. Copper in several forms was found adequate as a bacteriostatic agent but posed a potential hazard because of its toxicity. Many other bactericides that were tested were also toxic. \r\n\r\nTwo sets of large-scale field tests have been completed and several others are still in progress. On the larger reservoirs, the reduction of evaporation was not more than 20 percent under the prevailing conditions and the application procedure used. \r\n\r\nThree major practical problems remain; namely, the effects and action of wind on the monofilm, the effects of biochemical oxidation, and the most effective method of application. Fundamental problems remaining include the effects of various impurities, and the composition of the best evaporation retardant; the long-range effects of monofilms on the limnology of a reservoir, including the transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide; toxicological aspects of all components of any evaporation-retardant composition, plus toxicology of any composition chosen for large-scale use; and further studies of the calorimetry and thermodynamics involved in the mechanism of evaporation and its reduction by a monofilm.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. G.P.O.,","doi":"10.3133/wsp1480","usgsCitation":"Cruse, R.R., and Harbeck, G.E., 1960, Evaporation control research, 1955-58: U.S. Geological Survey Water Supply Paper 1480, iv, 45 p. :ill. ;24 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/wsp1480.","productDescription":"iv, 45 p. :ill. ;24 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":137913,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1480/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":26145,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1480/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a07e4b07f02db5f9433","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Cruse, Robert R.","contributorId":93326,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cruse","given":"Robert","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":143403,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Harbeck, Guy Earl","contributorId":82290,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Harbeck","given":"Guy","email":"","middleInitial":"Earl","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":143402,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

The method is applicable to a region of any size, as a river basin or a State, so long as the region is hydrologically homogeneous. \r\n\r\nThe analysis provides two curves. The first expresses the flood discharge-time relation, showing variation of peak discharge, expressed as a ratio to the mean annual flood, with recurrence interval. The second relates the mean annual flood to the size of drainage area alone, or to the size area and other significant basin characteristics. \r\n\r\nA frequency curve may be defined for any place in the region by use of these two curves. The procedure is: (a) measure the drainage area and other appropriate basin characteristics from maps; (b) from the second curve, select the mean annual flood corresponding to the proper drainage area factors; (c) from the first curve, select ratios of peak discharge to mean annual flood for selected recurrence intervals, as 2, 10, 25, and 50 years; and (d) multiply these ratios by the mean annual flood and plot the resulting discharges of known frequency to define the frequency curve. \r\n\r\nTwo reports not previously given general circulation are included as sections of this report. These are 'Plotting Positions in Frequency Analysis' by W. B. Langbein, and 'Characteristics of Frequency Curves Based on a Theoretical 1,000-Year Record' by M. A.

The computed evapotranspiration loss during the growing season of 1959 was 175 acre-feet, which represented about 33 percent of the water that entered the reach. The maximum rate of loss during the season was slightly more than 8 acre-feet per week, or about 60 percent of the inflow. \r\n\r\nThe project reach is divided into two parts: An upstream subreach of 2.6 miles and a downstream subreach of 1.5 miles. Seasonal losses in the upstream and downstream subreaches were 75 and 100 acre-feet respectively. Losses in the shorter downstream subreach were larger because of the greater plant population. \r\n\r\nDuring the summer of 1960 the vegetation in the lower subreach will be chemically defoliated as a part of the experiment to determine the savings in water losses that can be effected by modifying riparian vegetation.

The nature of the inquiries suggests a general confusion in the public mind as to wetland values and an increasing concern by the public with the need for facts as a basis for sound decisions when public action is required. \r\n\r\nPerhaps the largest gap in our knowledge is in regard to the role played by the wetland in the natural water scheme. Specialists in such fields as agriculture and conservation have studied the wetland in relation to its special uses and values for farming and as a habitat for fish and wildlife. However, except as studied incidentally by these specialists, the role of the wetland with respect to water has been largely neglected. This facet of the wetland problem is of direct concern to the Geological Survey. \r\n\r\nWe commonly speak of water in terms of its place in the hydrologic environment---as, for example, surface water or ground water. These terms imply that water can be neatly pigeonholed. With respect to the wetland environment nothing can be further from the truth. In fact, one objective of this discussion is to demonstrate that for the wetland environment surface water, ground water, and soil water cannot be separated realistically, but are closely interrelated and must be studied together. It should be noted that this statement holds true for the hydrologic environment in general, and that the wetland environment is by no means unique in this respect. Our second and principal objective is to identify some of the problems that must be studied in order to clarify the role of the wetland in relation to water supply. \r\n\r\nWe have chosen to approach these objectives by briefly describing one area for which we have some information, and by using this example to point out some of the problems that need study. First, however, let us define what we, as geohydrologists, mean by wetland and briefly consider wetland classifications. \r\n\r\nFor our purpose wetlands are land areas that are covered with shallow water or subjected to intermittent flooding and subsequent slow drainage, and which generally are characterized by an accumulation of organic matter hereafter termed \u001Cswamp deposits.' These wetlands may be classified in a number of different ways depending on the purpose of the classifier. For example, the Fish and Wildlife Service classifies wetlands into 20 different types based on water quality (fresh or salty), drainage, and vegetation. At the risk of some oversimplification we might consider 4 types of wetland from the standpoint of hydrology: (1) fresh-water swamps in which the swamp deposits are underlain by glacial till or bedrock; (2)fresh-water swamps in which the swamp deposits are underlain by marine or lacustrine clay and silt; (3) fresh-water swamps in which the swamp deposits are underlain by glacial outwash or alluvium consisting mostly of sand or sand and gravel; and (4) salt .marshes and salt meadows. The three fresh-water types of wetland are of interest with respect to water supply, and of these, the type in which swamp deposits are underlain by glacial outwash is of particular interest in New England. \r\n\r\nIn the Ipswich River basin above the Geological Survey gaging station at South Middleton, Mass., is an area of 44 square miles which forms the headwaters section of the basin. The relief of the area is low. About half the area consists of hills mostly underlain by bedrock but mantled by a thin layer of glacial till. The other half consists Of lowlands---including swamps, low terraces and plains---underlain by glacial outwash, Swampland, used hereafter as a synonym for wetland, forms about a fourth of the area. Some of the swamps occupy depressions in the till blanket and are situated at somewhat higher levels than the lowlands. The largest swamps, however, border the Ipswich River and its tributaries. Here the swamp deposits, which consist of muck and peat mixed with s","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"[U.S. Geological Survey],","doi":"10.3133/cir431","usgsCitation":"Baker, J.A., 1960, Wetland and water supply: U.S. Geological Survey Circular 431, 3 p. ;27 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/cir431.","productDescription":"3 p. ;27 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":117878,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1960/0431/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":31289,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1960/0431/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e48cee4b07f02db545334","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Baker, John Augustus","contributorId":48159,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Baker","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"Augustus","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":148348,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

This system utilizes virtually all the available surface water.  A substantial amount of surface water, estimated to be about 70,000 acre-feet annually, is lost by leakage from the reservoir and the distribution system. Some of this water could be salvaged by lining sections of the canal where excessive losses occur. Ground water has not been extensively developed in the area, but some successful irrigation wells furnished supplemental irrigation water. Recharge to the area is from precipitation on the area, seepage from peripheral streams, seepage losses from the reservoir and canal system, irrigation seepage, and ground-water underflow. Ground water leaves the area by undertow to the north and northwest, and eventually reaches the Snake River. The total mount of underflow from the area was estimated by three different methods to be 17,000, 100,000, and 170,000 acre-feet per year. The preliminary estimate of 100,000 acre-feet was derived by the inventory of recharge and is probably more accurate than the other two methods.  Calculations, based on estimates of transmissibility computed from specific capacities of wells, suggest that there may be some channels or conduits of higher than average transmissibility through which a large part of the undertow leaves the area, Possibly 25 percent of the ground-water outflow could be intercepted by wells. However, in part of the area the depth to water may be excessive for economic development.  Chemical analyses of 25 samples of ground water indicate that most of the water sampled is suitable for irrigation. The samples found least suitable were of water occurring at shallow depth, south and east of Hollister.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/cir436","usgsCitation":"Fowler, K.H., 1960, Preliminary report on ground water in the Salmon Falls area, Twin Falls County, Idaho: U.S. Geological Survey Circular 436, Document: iii, 17 p.; 1 Map: 14.22 x 15.24 inches, https://doi.org/10.3133/cir436.","productDescription":"Document: iii, 17 p.; 1 Map: 14.22 x 15.24 inches","numberOfPages":"21","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":124626,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/0436/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":31023,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/0436/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":271073,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/0436/plate-1.pdf"}],"country":"United States","state":"Idaho","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -115.04,41.99 ], [ -115.04,42.9 ], [ -114.0,42.9 ], [ -114.0,41.99 ], [ -115.04,41.99 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a9be4b07f02db65e11e","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Fowler, Kenneth H.","contributorId":23930,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Fowler","given":"Kenneth","email":"","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":147861,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

They occupy alined and structurally controlled depressions in the northern Coast Ranges physiographic province and drain south into San Pablo Bay. The valleys are surrounded and underlain by unconsolidated marine and continental sediments and volcanic rocks of Pliocene and Pleistocene age, which are water bearing in large part and together make up relatively extensive ground-water basins. Napa Valley, the eastern valley, is the larger and has a valley-floor area of about 85 square miles. Sonoma Valley has a valley-floor area of about 35 square miles; in addition, about 10 square miles is unreclaimed tidal marsh. \r\n\r\nThe rock units of Napa and Sonoma Valleys are divided into four classes on the basis of their distribution and relative capacity to yield water: (a) Consolidated virtually non-water-bearing chiefly sedimentary (some metamorphic) rocks that range in age from Jurassic ( ?) to Pliocene; (b) marine shale and sand of the Petaluma formation (Pliocene) and the Merced formation (Pliocene and Pleistocene) that do not crop out within Napa or Sonoma Valleys but perhaps are penetrated by some deep wells drilled in Sonoma Valley; (c) Sonoma volcanics of Pliocene age, parts of which are non-water-bearing and parts of which locally yield large quantities of water; and (d) unconsolidated alluvial deposits mainly of Quaternary age. The deposits of classes (c) and (d) contain the most important aquifers in the area. \r\n\r\nMost of the water used in these valleys is pumped from wells in the younger and older alluvium in the Huichica and Glen Ellen formations. and in the Sonoma volcanics. The principal aquifers are the younger and older alluvium. but appreciable quantities of water are pumped locally from the Sonoma volcanics. The Huichica and Glen Ellen formations yield water in small quantities and at most places supply water only for limited domestic uses. \r\n\r\nThe younger alluvium COIM3ists of interbedded deposits of unconsolidated gravel. sand, silt. and. locally, peat. These deposits underlie the flood plains and channels of the Napa River. Sonoma Creek, and their tributaries, low alluvial fans or plains graded to these streams. and the tidal marshlands. The older alluvium of Napa and Sonoma Valleys is composed of lenticular deposits of unconsolidated and poorly sorted clay, silt. sand. and gravel. Where exposed, claypan or hardpan soil is characteristically developed at the surface. \r\n\r\nThe Huichica formation is composed of deformed continental beds consisting mostly of yellow silt with some interbedded lenses of silt and gravel, and silt and boulders. At the base are beds of redeposited volcanic material, silt, clay, and lenses of coarse gravel and boulders. The Glen Ellen fcrmation consists of alluvial clay, silt, sand, and gravel in clearly stratified but generally lenticular beds. The Sonoma volcanics constitute a thick and highly variate series of continental volcanic rocks, including andesite, basalt, and minor rhyolite flows and interbedded coarse- to fine-grained pyroclastic tuff and breccia, redeposited tuff and pumice, and diatomaceous mud, silt, and sand. A prominent body of rhyolite flows and tuff with some obsidian and perlitic glass, called the St. Helena rhyolite member, occurs in the upper part. \r\n\r\nEstimated ground-water pumpage for all uses in the year 1949-50 was about 5,600 acre-feet in Napa Valley and about 2,400 acre-feet in Sonoma Valley. Of this quantity the amounts pumped for irrigation were about 2,900 and 1,900 acre-feet, respectively. \r\n\r\nWater levels in wells in the central parts of the valleys range from a few feet above the land surface to about 50 feet below, with an average of about 25 feet. The quality of the water in most wells is satisfactory for domestic use and irrigation. Locally at the southern end of the valley some contamination of the native waters is caused by the movement of salty wate","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. G.P.O.,","doi":"10.3133/wsp1495","usgsCitation":"Kunkel, F., and Upson, J.E., 1960, Geology and ground water in Napa and Sonoma Valleys, Napa and Sonoma Counties, California: U.S. Geological Survey Water Supply Paper 1495, v, 252 p. :ill., maps ;24 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/wsp1495.","productDescription":"v, 252 p. :ill., maps ;24 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":138463,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1495/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":27593,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1495/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":27594,"rank":401,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1495/plate-2.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":27595,"rank":402,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1495/plate-3.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":27596,"rank":403,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1495/plate-4.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":27597,"rank":404,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1495/plate-5.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":27598,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1495/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4adbe4b07f02db68604a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kunkel, Fred","contributorId":47766,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kunkel","given":"Fred","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":144610,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Upson, Joseph Edwin","contributorId":21528,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Upson","given":"Joseph","email":"","middleInitial":"Edwin","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":144609,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}
